It is to freeze your ass off.
It is to lower the temp for the seat ventilation. I don't have this option in my car, but Ziphoria and Nikonman has it and I code it for them. They told me that they can feel it cooler now, but not to the point where it will freeze your ass.
If you live in Cali or Texas, you probably will need it. But you have to have the ventilation seat option.
You can set the seat heating into higher temp also, but I haven't tested it. Maybe someone in the east coast can confirm what is the best temp setting.

Hey guys - the ventilated seats do not work in conjunction with the A/C. They just use fans. Coding a lower operating temp. point is highly recommended since they don't much by default.

I cover the CT/NJ/NY tri-state area in person and code remotely when meeting is not an option.

yes, this is what I do and works great too.... I have the air from the rear controls come out on from the bottom (through feet) if you see the air duct, it has a twisted end so the air can flow up and cool the seat.. it cools my seats pretty fast

Hey, so you got your car to start up?
The car only need to sleep through the night I guess, right?

1. Would someone be so kind as to add the coding for defaulting ACC distance to the shortest one? I use ACC all the time and it would be nice if it defaulted to the shortest distance, as I use that 95% of the time.

2. Does anyone have a picture of what the rear DRLs look like? Curious about coding it but not sure I want brake lights on all the time.

Brad,

The rear DRL is the same as when you turn on your light at night. Except this time it will be on all the time.
It is separate then the brake light itself.
Just switch on your light manually and look on the back light. That's how it will looks light when it is set to be on all the time.

YES! I'd be interested in the coding info for this too!

Look for ICM->3000 Daten, F8->LDM_Abstandsstufe_init or a similar function.

Set Werte=01 (the default is Werte=04) for ACC position 1 or whatever your preferred distance is.

After coding using the cheat sheet r33 provided, I was able to get all the features listed in the sheet working. However, my interior LED lights are gone!!!! And both driver side and passenger side' interior FOOT LIGHTING are also gone! See pictures. I didn't touch any other module other than the modules listed in the sheet.

Now I'm desperate....could someone help me please....

DONT WORRY BUD !!! I had same problem after coding , just let your car fall asleep , and after that everything will start working again . just turn it off , wait 20 minutes and ON again .

Thanks for all your input and the cheat sheet, I was able to code a few things.

A few things left to do, maybe someone with experience can tell my in which modules to find those as they don't seem to be in BDC Body, Kombi or HU_NBT. I can't start the engine when coding and am afraid of draining the battery if I continue to look through each CAFD.

Anyone out there know how to code to unlock doors when engine is shut off? I see it on the F10 cheatsheet as ER_KEYOUT_AUTOVR in the CAS module but couldn't find it anywhere. I have my X5 set to auto lock doors when put into drive and it would be nice to also have it auto unlock either when engine is shut off.

Also, I know there is a code for to keep fog lights on with high beams, but I was wondering if there was a way to code to remember fog light on/off status. I like the fog lights on with low beams but I am forced to manually turn them on every time.
